squashes raised in one hill by William
Sampson of Pettingil's Corner, the aggregate
weight of which is 225 pounds. The
aggregate circumference of the three is 10
feet IA inches, measured in one direction and
10 feet, inch in the other. This is good
sample of what successful Augusta garden

1t is to be very much regretted that suf-
ficient support was not given by our citizens
to the project of the Star Lecture course to
make it a success, and that it has had to be
abandoned. 1t will probably be long time
before eur citizens will again have an oppor-
tunity of securing such excellent talent at so
reasonable figures as those given for the pro-
posed course. The first entertainment which
was down in the course, will be given in our
city, notwithstanding the abandonment OF the
course, Friday evening. The Welsh Prize
singers will then appear in Granite Hall, and
no lover of music can afford to miss hearing
them. Tickets for this entertainment may
be obtained at the store of c. C. Hunt.
The Welsh prize singers gave their opening
performance in this country Monday evening
in LYNN. to a crowded audience-one of
the largest ever seen in that city. The enter
t,inment was all that was expected and is
spoken of in the highest terms. judging from
the rapid sale which the tickets are having in
this city they will be greeted with similar
audience at Granite Hall Friday evening.

land of his next neighbor. The gentleman
who gathered the fruit writes us that the
""ount gathered was only ABOUT u hsii-

on his own front door step while the apples
were being picked. He further states that
the tree being so near his house was a great an
noyanceand that he offered the neighbor So If

and the tree removed. The apples which
were picked BY the neighbor were undoubted-

mat the questions relating to the tree and its
truit were SO satisfactorily settled between
these two gentlemen.

accepted, by then, as the long desired
happy medium, between the trotter and
the mammoth draft horse. They stand
from 164 to 164 hands, and weigh from
1850 lbs. to 1850 lbs, being very
strong in bone, clean and smooth in leg
and with the very best of feet,
They have the advantage over trot-
ters, of not requiring a professional
driver to develop and fit them for mar
ket, as it can be done by any horseman
having a little pride and judgment,
while doing duty on the farm and earn
ing an honest living.
Many farmers would save their sons
from ruin, if they would place nice

hands, to work at home and develop,
rather than to allow them a trotter, "to
go out with the boys and divert their
minds from legitimate business.
